The Post Aggregator block allows you to pull a set of recent WordPress blog posts into a page. You can choose the PC site you wish to pull from, and even narrow the content to particular categories used in that site. Additionally, you can use multiple Post Aggregator blocks on a single page to highlight different categories of post- for example, news posts, with sections intended for specific audiences such as alumni or students.
Remember that all posts used in Post Aggregator blocks should have a Featured Image assigned to them. Otherwise, the Post Aggregator block will just use a grey box, and that doesn’t look very nice. Also, you should consider using a Content Wrapper around a Post Aggregator block to be sure the items are a good size.

When should I use it?
The Post Aggregator block is a great addition to landing pages for sites that regularly blog, post events, news, and other information of a timely nature that utilize posts vs pages. It can help to make your page look more “alive” as new posts will automatically be added to the posts block on that page. Drop the Web Services team a line for guidance and assistance in setting up this functionality on your site.
